Guests say

Lilac Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack. Set in a lovely area with convenient local amenities and scenic walks, it offers a cosy and well-maintained retreat. While there are minor maintenance issues and accessibility concerns for disabled guests, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Guests frequently commend the cottage for its cleanliness, describing it as 'really clean and well maintained' and 'clean throughout', indicating a high standard of hygiene.

The cottage is appreciated for its perfect location, with easy access to local attractions and amenities, making it a good base for exploring the area.

The comfort of the cottage is well-regarded, with mentions of a 'lovely comfy bed', 'comfy bed and lounge', and an 'excellent' welcome pack contributing to a homely feel.

Facilities are generally good, with a 'great shower' and 'excellent separate shower' noted. However, points are deducted for reported maintenance issues like a leaking shower and kitchen tap.

Thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of a welcome pack and dog treats, enhancing the guest experience. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is a delightful bonus rather than a standard offering.

About this property

Lilac Cottage is nestled in the delightful village of Wombleton, North Yorkshire, enveloped around an abundance of hiking and biking trails, courtesy of being easily accessible to North York Moors National Park. It is an idyllic base for families seeking to immerse themselves in the Yorkshire countryside. Upon entry, be delighted by the characterful interior with exposed wooden beams and original furniture pieces, providing a perfect blend of comfort and character. The generous kitchen is ideal to whip up delicious meals together, with an array of marvellous amenities. When it's time to serve, indulge in some family bonding around the dining table as you plan the following day's itinerary.

Afterwards, curl up in the living room with your favourite programme on the TV as the evening's entertainment. When nighttime rolls around, retire in a double or a twin room on the first floor, making it a real haven for easy and convenient living. In the morning, get ready in style at the dressing table in the double bedroom, before indulging in your morning coffee outdoors amidst the occasional bird song. Stroll to Beadland Grange Farm shop for some fresh breakfast and purchase your evening stock. Bird watchers will be thrilled by the National Centre for Bird of Prey, and be mesmerized by hawks, eagle owls, and other birds of prey.

For the adrenalin junkies, head to Flamingo Land Resort with a plethora of rides, big and small, as well as a zoo home to unique species, all while contributing to conservation. Immerse yourself in the healing powers of North York Moors National Park by experiencing the great outdoors in every aspect; meander through the sandy coastlines at Runswick Bay, attend one of the many village shows/ music events, skim through the treetops at Go Ape, surf, bike, kayak, horse ride around the surroundings, or indulge in the monuments just bursting with heritage, truly showcasing the versatility of the landscape. Head to the Howardian Hills National Landscape and explore the friendly villages scattered around, taste-test the local delicacies, and grab a keepsake at one of the independent boutiques.

Photographers and history-lovers will enjoy a tour of Castle Howard House and Grounds, or the National Trust Nunnington Hall, with picture-postcard landscapes at every angle. Lilac Cottage invites you to book a stay near the North York Moors National Park for a memory-filled holiday.

A small characteristic village in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, Beadlam is unusual in that it is directly joined onto another village, Nawton, together commonly known as Nawton Beadlam. The village offers a pub serving food and a local fish and chip shop. Nearby, about 3 miles away, is the prestigious market town of Helmsley, historically renowned for having its own 12th century castle. There is excellent walking on the doorstep with the national trail, Cleveland Way, starting in Helmsley, which has fabulous views of the coast and ancient stone crosses. Further afield approximately 10 miles east is the historic market town of Pickering, which is home to a wider range of amenities and traditional shops. York is less than an hour’s drive south, as is Scarborough, Whitby and the east coast. Whatever you decide to do, there is a plenty of choice for you to enjoy!
